Greyhound saved after eating ski glove in a single gulp

A three-year-old greyhound has been saved by a vet after she wolfed down a dog walker’s ski glove in one gulp. Hungry pooch Rebecca was out for her daily walk when she gobbled down Sally McGlone's ski mitt which she accidentally dropped.

Shocked Sally and her friend Linda Whitaker raced Rebecca to a local vets who gave her medication which forced the dog to throw up. The poorly pooch was treated at Linnaeus-owned Abbey House Vets in Morley, Leeds, and medics were stunned when the glove was recovered intact.

Linda, who is caring for Rebecca while trying to find her a forever home, said: “Sally dropped the glove and Rebecca just ate it in one gulp. It was incredible. I couldn’t believe she had got it down in one go without even chewing it and I certainly couldn’t believe it came out in one piece either.
